Quotes - I have loads of them. I really love quotes and sayings, particularly those made by wise yet humble people. Whenever I can come across several lines as I surf the net, I see to it that I can save them for future reference. And I often share most of them to my friends...
Quotes can always serve me well. They inspire me. Quotes awaken my soul. They serve as a guide - in life, love and everything under the sun. When I'm down or feeling miserable, not motivated, lost and broken, quotes are one of my effective and lifetime medicines. They can actually cure a broken heart and soul. Of course, quotes are eye-openers; they present various truth that we tend to escape from.
But for now, let me share to you some quotes on love. I actually find them cheesy yet very powerful source of inspiration - motivating me to love, and to love more... unconditionally. If only love is as uncomplicated and fun as it seems. And, if only all people know how to love the right way at the right time... But I guess all is fair in love and war. ;)
“If I love you, what business is it of yours?” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. - Benjamin Disraeli
“Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” - Bruce Lee
“Love is like a Rubix Cube, there are countless numbers of wrong twists and turns, but when you get it right, it looks perfect no matter what way you look at it.” - Brian Cramer
“Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.” - Swedish Proverb
“You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.” - Keith Sweat
“You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.” - Julia Roberts
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.” - Winnie the Pooh

“A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life, to be thankful for a good one.” - Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
“I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.” - Pietro Aretino
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.” - Albert Einstein
“In revenge and in love, woman is more barbarous than man.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” - Agatha Christie

“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.” - Katharine Hepburn
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” - C.S. Lewis
“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.” - Mark Twain
